Exploring The Yamas

Non-violence, or Ahimsa, is a practice of compassion and kindness. The slow flow serves as a reminder that your words, actions, and deeds contribute to peace or turbulence both within and outside of yourself. Props: block (optional)

Satya, or truthfulness, is a practice of authenticity along with compassion. Move through a practice full of front-body stretches including the heart and throat areas.

Asteya, or non-stealing, is the practice of remembering that we have - and are - enough. This sweet practice of flowing standing poses offers an inquiry into how we take and give energy, time, and resources.

Aparigraha, or non-grasping, is the practice of creating space. Soften the grip on old identities, relationships, objects, etc. that tether to old ways, creating space for growth. This fluid, even practice moves through a balance of standing and twisting poses.

Brahmacharya, or the maintenance of vitality, is the practice of learning to savor rather than over-consume. Listen to subtle sensation, engage with the present, and invite satisfaction with what you have in your practice and life off the mat. This sweet flowing practice includes standing poses, balancing, and mini meditation.
